Great night tonight with the team from the London office at Chicago Booth, celebrating their annual Worldwide Booth Nights held at Brewdog, Tower Hill. Brilliant crowd, lovely food and drink, and plenty of fun had by all.

Just spent afternoon in the Thames Pavillion Rooms at The House of Commons, Westminster for Arthritis Research UK, photographing the launch of report previewing new findings on Aids & Adaptations. Hosted by Joe Pike MP, it was a brilliant turn out from all sides, from Caroline Dinenage, & Tim Loughton to Stephen Timms, Barbara Keeley & Chi Onwurah and Alsion Thewliss too. Felt like a great learning curve too for all who attended, so job well done.

Always lovely to shoot the Annual Marie Curie charity fundraiser auction held at the RA’s Summer Collection. Such a beautiful building and always a fascinating exhibition too. This year Marie Curie were again blessed with some great support from various top showbiz bods including Jason Issacs, Mel Giedroyc, Jim Carter & Michael Cashman.

Had a brilliantly successful couple of hours at The Houses of Parliament today with the Public Affairs Team at The Alzheimer’s Society, photographing over 80 MPs and engaging them in the details of the launch of the “Fix Dementia Care & State of the Nation” policy. Very positive stuff indeed and everyone present shone very brightly

Just spent the evening at Livability HQ photographing their HRH Princess Royal Staff Awards 2018 in the presence of Lord Shaftesbury, Livability’s Vice Patron and taking a few more formal portraits too. It was also a chance to bid farewell to the outgoing CEO, Dave Webber & to welcome in…

Had the privilege of photographing the London Marathon 2018 today for the charity Livability, attempting to spot 177 runners in a sea of 40,000!! As well as getting a ton of shots for them, I also managed to grab a few shots of the general scene, including amazingly the top three running past, Farah, Kitata & the winner Kipchoge.

My second year of covering the Aura Awards 2018 for Centaur Live, held this year at the Jumeirah Carlton Tower Hotel in Knightsbridge. Brilliantly run and very entertaining evening all round with a fantastic meal and post awards entertainment too with quiz & casino on tap. Brilliant night.

Just come back from Gus Cummins’ Private View party for the opening of his exhibition at The Jerwood, Hastings, “Off the Wall”. A totally packed gallery, plus a couple of other exhibitions opening tonight, including Quentin Blake’s “Moonlight Travellers” & a collection of Hastings artists, including Matthew Burroughs and Angie Cummins, entitled “To be Continued, Artists in Hastings”. A great night and brilliant crowd too, no wonder BBC South East were there reporting live!!

Just attended a very powerful and moving lecture in the Jubilee Room, Houses of Parliament, Westminster, held by Marie Curie entitled “Dementia and end of Life” given by Dr Liz Sampson and attended by Liz Kendall MP. Other members of the panel included Rachel Hutchings, Marie Cooper & Jill George, with Dr Jane Collins, CEO of Marie Curie, giving a closing speech.

A wonderful way to end a successful Annual Conference for The Alzheimer’s Society at The Grand Connaught in London tonight. Very moving speech from Fiona Phillips too and some wonderful awards given out. Well done Alzheimer’s Society, you are such an inspiration!!
